urgent security question, helicopters, DEA

so my plants hve been outside for over a month now and they are currently in two different locations, both very well hidden. The site in question is in the middle of a new (3-4 year old) forest that is thick with brambles and poison oak. did i mention the fucking swarms of ticks? as soon as i put my plants out the ticks fucking SWARMED! but anyways, i cleared some tall weeds to give room for my plants, which are growing in five gallon buckets, painted green. as far as im concerned my plants are safe from foot soldiers, rippers and animals almost 100%, but the damn air traffic is working my nerves. usually every week or so we see a med-evac helicopter flying speadily over the land out here, but the past two days, in the early noon, a helicopter will come flying right over my patch. now, one of the helicopters appeared to be green and white or blue and white, and yesterday there was a black one (i believe) they arent flying circles, they just come right over my patch and keep on flying, although yesterday, and this is not typical behavior for a medevac heli, they flew a couple miles past the site and then turned around and went back, not over the same path, but still within hearing distance. all this has got me worried, so i need your opinions. it is mid-spring here, and i have heard that the dea usually isnt out and about until autumn, around harvest time. right now my plants would be kindof obvious because its pretty much the only clearing in the forest/bramble there. its a small clearing, circular, maybe 4 or 5 feet in diameter, i left the brush on the ground. will the dea be searching this early in the season? later, my plants will be big enough to cover up the hole in the forest canopy, but now, now they're at risk. opionions and educated guesses appreciated, gracias.

Wait for one to come back, get some binoculars and write down the tail numbers, maybe find out who they are. I wouldn't doubt if they look for new gardens in the spring before stuff has time to fill in... if you made a clearing in a clearly defined shape in the forest they may have seen it. If it's a few plants they may just rip them and not waste time trying to bust you... this is all worst case scenario, but better off safe than assraped in jail, right?

Usually it's scout time right now the raids don't start till Aug and early sept. you have a advantage your in buckets and the garden is mobile. Right before the end of summer move em. Scout the new area now. You should be planting under heavy growth and cutting patches in it for the light to get in leaving some of the top cover. you want to plant one here and one there and so on. They like large patches but one or two small plants is a pain that just isn't worth it. In fact leave pots with what looks like chopped stems in them. they show up and go "fuck he harvested" and the plants are safe in the other area to finish.

I'd suggest getting a scanner. Monitor the aircraft bands for awhile and you'll know exactly what those choppers are up to. If you can't pick up anything to or from them then you'll know that they're military or DEA. All non-military or non-DEA flights use unscrambled transmissions in the normal aircraft bands. Don't expect them to talk continuously though, you'll need to listen for when they are taking off and landing, otherwise they don't talk all that much. If you had a scanner you'd know exactly why that medical changed course.

You might not have to worry about so much the DEA. The state I live in (Ks) offers rewards to private pilots, and farmers that turn in weed patches. Don't grow in patches. A few ideas to consider... Hang your buckets in trees. You can use a cordless drill, aquarium hose and a drill end pump for water delivery. Groom your plants to grow along a fence. It will look more like a vine then a bush. Start at one location pick a landmark on the horizon, plant in a line, staggering the spacing. 25 paces, 50 paces, 30 paces, 75 paces. You can write down your combonation, or just walk a strait line to find them. Just be sure to plant were other plants are green at harvest time or your line will stand out. Even then, from the air it can look like a fence line then a weed patch. They could pass over without a second thought. Train tracks are great too. Follow the tracks out of town. When you find a good spot for a plant use spray paint to make a dot on the inside edge of the track, parralel to the chosen site. You can also use a sharpie or paint marker to write the number of paces from the track, in that dot. Use a dark paint so it won't stand out to much. You must use some caution here. Try to be walking off the side of the R.R. right of way in the private propety, if a train comes along. Train crews can radio you in as a trespaser if they see you on the tracks. Some tracks pass over large open areas making it hard to ditch a can of paint. Water bottles are easy to explain when it's hot outside.
****************My most usefull tip***************** If you have an energetic dog, bring it along. "I'm trying to catch my damned dog." Makes a good excuse for being were you shouldn't. I have used this with just a leash and no dog.
If you run into somone while your out. DON'T try to hide. Start walking stait to them yelling, Here Rover, Spot, whatever. Try to make first contact with the person and ask if they have seen or can help you find the dog. Start bitching and complaining about how it's your girlfriends dog and you hate it. You only put up with the dog to get the pussy. Be a annoying brat about it. Whine like a little bitch. They will get irritated and leave.
-------------------- I tried to leave my signature but it didn't work... By the way... Does anybody know how to get sharpie markers off of a computer screen?

may i mention camo and huddeling in a ball if you are at a spot near the gardens.
Huddeling up in a ball makes sure for a non humman profile.
